But once more the Bernabeu faithful singled out the former Tottenham man for criticism.

And his Brazilian team-mate has hit back at his critics and lent his support to the 28-year-old.

Casemiro said: “You can see that Bale is working.

“He wants to score goals and he’s fighting to always help Real Madrid.”

Bale became a firm favourite with crowd following his move from the Premier League back in 2013.

A wonder goal against bitter rivals Barcelona in the final of the Cope del Rey and his strike in the Champions League final against Atletico Madrid ensured he won over the fierce followers of the club in his first season.
